Basically what it say on the tin. I just finished Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler) and I loved it. Any suggestions on what else I might like? It's been a while since I got into a scifi novel.

Edit: It's come to my attention that there's a sequel. I'll start there then. Thank you everyone!

I agree with Parable of the Talents. It continues the story but from a few different perspectives.

Also, I really enjoyed Wild Seed by Butler. It is chronologically the first book in the Patternist series.

If you're looking for something by a different author with some similar themes but with a more sci-fantasy edge, then the Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin. It is the first book in the Broken Earth trilogy.
